Golden Vanilla Dream Cupcake Recipe

It’s been a while since I’ve posted (thanks to my web designer, Arthur, for creating an adorable, illustrated liquid measure conversions, the other day), as making sweets and photographing them is a little challenging during our home renovation, but I managed to borrow my sweet friend Kim’s kitchen (Thank you Kim!), to do some recipe testing and make rainbow-happy cupcakes, inspired by this mail from The TomKat Studio.

These moist, fluffy, golden-delicious, vanilla cupcakes, a recipe I’ve been toying around with for a while, are finally ready to share, and I hope you like them too.

Besides the recipe below, I’ve got some more treats for you today, so scroll down for a little surprise!

Decorating the Cupcakes

If you’d like a how-to on icing these cupcakes, here’s a video for you:

The confetti sprinkles I found at a local store, Bulk Barn, but I also found them online here. A little secret for you… I took the time to take out all the purple and orange sprinkles with my decorating tweezers. (Yes, I really did. I know). It actually only took me about 10 minutes for this many sprinkles:

And I didn’t end up needing that many for 24 cupcakes. Just really wanted to match the stripes on the cute carnival cupcake cups and favor boxes.

And now, a little giveaway fun to share with you…

Hey Marian, i just made the cupcakes vanilla & chocolate omg they are so delicious it reminded me of my childhood how my mum use to make those cupcakes they smell so superlicious. Thank you so much for the recipes

I made these yesterday and they were so good! I have the Hummingbird Bakery cookbook but I their muffins to be too dense. But these vanilla muffins were exactly what I’ve been looking for! I even managed to get muffintops 🙂 thank you for the recipe, it’s a keeper!

Hey me again just wondering if this would work well for a cake (bread loaf tin size making a bubble bath cake for sister in laws birthday)if how much do you think I would need f the mixture and how long to bake it?

Hi Marion, I baked the vanilla cupcakes today and they taste absolutely delicious! Your frosting recipe is just perfect, although I had to make it with unsalted butter as I didn’t have white margarine. I usually find buttercream sickly and too sweet but your recipe is just right on the sweetness scales. Thank you so much for a fantastic recipe which I shall use from hereon! Moo Cake x

I love your blog so much.. all cookies and cakes are so nice looking.. cant bear to eat it.
I’m planning to make the vanilla cupcakes for my boy’s birthday this coming weekend. But I only have 12 cupcake pans.. Can I leave the other half of the batter on the shelf while waiting for the first 12 cupcakes baking in the oven?

I wasn’t able to find confetti sprinkles anywhere like yours. They all look very flat with a lot of sponge like holes on them. I checked Bulk Barn as well as Wilton. They aren’t thick and smooth like your sprinkles?

[…] by admin With so many different potential cupcake flavor combinations, sometimes the simple ones get overlooked and taken for granted. For example, look at these golden vanilla dream cupcakes. They don’t have any unusual ingredients (no fruit, no tea powder, no herb infused butters). Just simple flour, buttermilk, vanilla extract and the like. They are topped with vanilla buttercream frosting and a few round sprinkles. Place them (liner and all) in an outer paper cupcake holder and serve. They’ll look just like presents!
